ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE REQUEST The applicant has submitted a request for alternative compliance pertaining to the parking lot landscaping, as follows: 1. The applicant requests approval of alternative compliance to UDC 11-313-8C.1 which requires a minimum 5 -foot wide landscape buffer adjacent to parking planted with one tree per 35 linear feet and shrubs, lawn, or other vegetative groundcover along the northeast boundary of the site. Due to an existing sewer main/casement along this boundary and the UDC restriction of planting trees within sewer easements, the applicant is unable to plant the three (3) required trees as required by ordinance. Although this buffer is lacking the three (3) required trees, the landscape buffer has been designed to meet the dimensional standards and will be planted with a mix of shrubs. The applicant believes the number of trees proposed for the development adequately addresses the loss of the three (3) trees. After reviewing the submitted landscape plan, staff finds the number of trees proposed for the development far exceeds the requirements of the UDC and hereby approves the applicant's alternative compliance request. ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE FINDINGS: In order to grant approval for alternative compliance, the director shall determine the following findings: 1. Strict adherence or application of the requirements is not feasible; OR Since the northeast boundary of the development is impacted by an existing sewer easement and the site plan cannot be redesigned to widen the buffer to accommodate the three (3) requires trees; strict adherence is not feasible. Conditions Document 3 Rushmore Apartments CZC, DES & ALT 2. The alternative compliance provides an equal or superior means for meeting the requirements; and Although the three (3) trees are not installed within the require landscape buffer, the Director finds the number of trees proposed for the development far exceed the requirements of the UDC and meets the intent of the landscape ordinance. 3. The alternative means will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or impair the intended uses and character of the surrounding properties. Staff finds that the proposed alternative will not be detrimental to the public welfare or impair the use/character of the surrounding properties since the landscaping for the proposed development enhances the quality of the development and the surrounding area. CITY COUNCIL REVIEW The applicant or a party of record may request City Council review of a decision of the Director. All requests for review shall be filed in writing with the Planning Division on or before August 8, 2013, within fifteen (15) days after the written decision is issued, and contain the information listed in UDC 1I - 5A -6B.

Unit mix: 12 of these units will be three-bedroom, two -bath, and 12 units will be two-bedroom, two -bath. The building labeled Building A (8-plex #1) will have an accessible three-bedroom unit as shown on the attached site plan exhibit. Amenities will include Enclosed Bike Storage, a BBQ Plaza, and Children's Play Structures per 11- 4-3-27 D.1.a.(3), D.1.b.(4), and D.1.c.(3) as shown on the site plan and landscape plan exhibits. Open spaces have been calculated as needing 6,000 SF, and this is shown on the landscape plan exhibit. Covered parking is provided for 48 stalls.

Requirements for the above have been addressed and addressed as noted above with the exception of the trees on the northeast property line.

The site has a cul-de-sac located at the end of Broadway Ave. which provides access to on-site parking. Pedestrian access is easily obtained to the dwelling units, amenities, parking, adjacent developments and future bike and pedestrian pathway. This creates the connectivity for both the pedestrians and vehicles. Vertical and horizontal modulation of walls roof line give the buildings a sense of humane scale. The landscaping adds to this and compliments the building colors and materials. The materials and colors form a unity for the tenants. The entrances to the 8-plexs are easy to find both visually and through pedestrian access. All mechanical equipment is either enclosed or screened from public view.
